Golf : Hannah Green holds 3-shot 2nd round lead at Women's PGA Championship

Hannah Green twice escaped trouble with unlikely par saves, including one shot she holed from off the green, and made four birdies for a 3-under 69 and took a three-shot lead into the weekend at the KPMG Women's PGA Championship. It's the first time she has held the 36-hole lead in her second year on the LPGA Tour. The 22-year-old Australian has made one bogey over 36 holes at Hazeltine National. Ariya Jutanugarn, a two-time major champion, closed within one shot until a series of misplays on the back nine. She had another 70. Green was at 7-under 137. Defending champion Sung Hyun Park (71) and Lydia Ko (70) were four shots behind. Fifteen players remained under par after two rounds, with the cut at 5-over 149. Michelle Wie not only made it to the tee, she played all 18 holes with a right wrist injury that doesn't seem to be getting any better. She managed only nine pars and no birdies in her round of 82.
